It sounds like you are talking about the Classe Delta PRE. It sounds amazing and has the perfect complement of features including a great phono stage. I love mine and I threw the HDMI card in there to get ARC from my TV. No complaints. I’ve also had the Hattor passive line stage with tube buffer, the flagship Parasound, and the list goes on. It’s no MSB, for example but what is?
Best Full-Function Preamplifier
Consulting the collective wisdom on the best preamp with built in phonostage (MM/MC). DAC not required but OK if it has one. Below $20K retail. Must be a no compromise solution--outstanding linestage and a flexible, great sounding phonostage that would not make you wish you had separates. Thoughts?
